I like the sound quality, which is typical of Sennheiser, and the case design is stylish and scratch-resistant. The noise cancellation isn't very strong, but the app offers a lot of customization options.

It was a slight upgrade over previous generation (more battery and slimmer case). But supply chain issues remained. My unit broke twice, first within warranty and second time, broke for good after warranty expired. I saw both MTW 3 and 4 suffer the same fate.

Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 4 MDAQS
Multi-Dimensional Audio Quality Scores, Scale 1 - 5
Virtual mean opinion scores (MOS) on a 1–5 scale, modeled from the measured response by HEAD acoustics’ MDAQS (Multi-Dimensional Audio Quality Score) model. Higher is better across timbre, distortion, and immersiveness — add other models to see where this one lands.
The verdict
Sennheiser is known for its high-end audio options and the MOMENTUM True Wireless 4 slots nicely among them. Though they're not the best at any one thing, the earbuds are a solid contender in the world of ANC earbuds.
✓Liked: IP54, Auracast and LE Audio support, Sound quality, ANC performance
✕Could be better: Mic performance is sub-par, Price
